This memoir, Spies, Lies & Psychosis, is my unsettling, and compelling true-life story that details my terrifying and disorienting descent into mental illness. At age 25, after leaving my job at the CIA, my life became a series of seemingly disconnected events fraught with dangerous lies, betrayal, manipulation, and deceit, pushing me into this sort of chaotic twilight between sanity and insanity. Unable to trust those around me after discovering their repeated deceptions, I embarked on a harrowing journey to reveal the truth, once and for all, about those family, friends, spies, and lovers who appear to be gaslighting me into thinking nothing I believe is real. But are they right? Is my truth a lie? Or are their lies the truth? Spies, Lies & Psychosis is a riveting cross between The Bourne Identity and A Beautiful Mind, with elements of both: spies, family drama, mental illness, and a search for the truth. Everyone knows someone with some form of mental illness, and this book is the closest any reader will ever come to actually experiencing their thought process, up close and personal.
